Still no action on this. Not going to drop another bomb on Friday, are they, so it is into next week.
Mitchell's post could be 'taken down' while still leaving the original text by adding a note at the start. e.g. "Revoked due to it being widely misread as Mozilla agreeing with those who helped out Brendan and with Mozilla supporting their agenda. We are sorry for the damage this post has caused and are carefully preparing a new statement." Taking down this post does not require a well prepared and vetted replacement. The current post is damaging. Why are people supporting it?

To: "Jim Taylor" <[email protected]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, April 10, 2014, 1:31 AM Taking down the existing posts wouldn't be productive, in my opinion -- it'd likely just lead to suggestions that Mozilla's trying to bury history or stuff like that. An expanded FAQ document and another post from Mitchell are both being actively worked on. Several people, including me, have been in communication with those drafting the new posts, to let them know what the main sources of skepticism and criticism are. I'm (fervently) hoping the new posts will be more lluminating than the existing posts.

Some people defending the treatment of Brendan and Mozilla claim it is being mis-interpreted by many in the media. This post has been up for a week now. It appears that clarifications have not made it out today. The ambiguity is damaging. The failure to take it down or clarify it hampers attempts to make a case to enraged users that they have mis-interpreted it. > > Why has this damaging post not been taken down? > > The FAQ reads as a half-truth so take it down too until a better replacement is produced. > > Jim > > _______________________________________________ > governance mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
